Armageddon

Touchstone, 151 minutes, PG-13, $29.99 (BD debut)

I’ve ripped on Michael Bay a lot in this column. But I have to admit a great admiration for the sheer audacity of “Armageddon.” An asteroid “the size of Texas” is headed for Earth. In desperation, the NASA Director (Billy Bob Thornton) calls upon wildcat deep driller Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis) to take a rag-tag team of drillers up to the asteroid and blow it in two with a nuclear weapon before it destroys all life on Earth. Sounds goofy? You betcha. This is one of those movies that you just stick in the player and let the jaw drop along with your suspension of belief. Pity that they didn’t take the Criterion Collection extras and stick them on this disc. In fact, the only extra is the Aerosmith “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” video and the trailers.
